Today, I was making cement which was used to level a bathroom floor. Didn't capture none of this on camera because things happen too fast when you are having fun... Anyways, it would appear a very simple process, just requiring your mind to switch off and keep shovelling the stuff around. Of course it gets tiring, just keep going. The trick is in the mixture of sand & cement powder to water. I used about half a bag of cement to 6 spades of sand. Then about quarter of a pail of water. The real job was in applying the stuff, which I can see is where a bit of skill is required to get a decent finish. This was done via a local friend of a relative, who used basically a cement leveller and spirit levels prior to application. There is a little more to it than that, but basically, these are the essential components. Very interesting.

Life in the fast lane, never gets boring.

Painting till 5 in the morning...

Well, on the subject of vechicles today, I was doing some digging for facts, although it may be a bit off, the intelligence is there in writing. So, on average at the car factory it takes around 30 hours to make the car using robots, basically. Then, the last report I saw said annual vehicle output was around 50 million units per year. Then the fatality report I saw, says up to 35 million people is injured in car crashes per year and up to 1.5 million killed annually on the roads. This data does not comprise information from low motorised countries, so the figures could be slightly higher. Given the price of fuel, and vehicle cost/upkeep nowadays, the financial cost of death is amazing. It's such a lottery.
